Choose the sentence that is grammatically correct :
Answer: B
The grammatically correct sentence is Neither the students nor the teacher has completed the work.
With neither ... nor, the verb agrees with the subject nearer to it (the rule of proximity). Here the nearer subject is the singular 'the teacher', so the verb must be has. Using 'the work' also avoids a pronoun that would have to agree with both a plural and a singular.
The first and third sentences use 'have' with the singular 'teacher', and 'its' cannot refer to people. In the last sentence the nearer subject 'teachers' is plural, so 'has' is wrong and 'his' does not fit either.
